WSJ What’s News · How Governments in the U.S. and Europe Are Stalling the AI Buildout · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

AI has been mostly led out of Silicon Valley, out of California, the US in general.

There aren't really these big AI hyperscaler startups in Europe, and most of the investment has come from abroad.

So there's this idea, firstly, that we need to catch up.

But then you have the idea that Europe has been very climate friendly, very in focus of the population.

How do you then have these two things match up where you have this sort of sustainable growth within the population economically, also bringing in AI, and how do you do those two things together?

And so one of those things is the EU's looking at this sustainability rating for data centres, and that will be on energy usage, water usage, things like that.

And basically, it's sort of like a star rating system or something akin to that of how sustainable is this data centre.

Is it renewable energy?

Is it gas?

Is it other forms of power?

And then in the same thing, how is water being used?

How is water being conserved?

Those sorts of things.

Will newer data centers be better for that?

A lot of these data centers are quite old at this point that have been coming through the cloud computing boom.

They probably will have a slightly worse rating, for example.

How do you improve those sorts of things?

This is something that the EU is very good at, is setting standards and making sure that everyone meets these minimum requirements correctly.

At the end of the day, people don't often really want data centers in their backyard trying to say like, well, actually, these ones are more energy efficient or these ones are slightly better because they use less water.

You still have a massive data center in your backyard.
